TIE great stumbling block to So,

TIE great stumbling block to south. ern progress has been her dependency on the north and east, and as long as this state of affairs continues we will remain in the woods. Everything we eat and wear and use comes from abroad. 1t is broad assertion, but we do not know of an institution in the whole state of Arkansas that can be termed maDufactory. And the pros poets of establishing such is very slim Who is to blame? When the state or counties have bit of printing or work to do, bids are solicited from abroad, and many merchants do the same, when all could be done as well and cheaply tall things consideredl. at home, and the money would be returned to the state and people again. While we adS6cate the principles of the Wheel and other farmers associations, and do our little mite towards this class of our population, VIC must confess that the removal of the Wheel state agent to neighboring states was iil-sdvised. This step will, we think, have dam aging effect on the state and her fu- ture, and is q poor advertisement of resources and enterprise of it's people. We believe in fighting the battle at home, invite capital and pluck from abroad to our midst. and, in but short time, all that could be asked would be granted on Arkansas soil.

ABOUT 1 o'clock Monday afternoon a fire broke out in the Union Cotton Cotton Compress Company's building at the foot of Main street, ;n Little Rock, on the river front. The fire spread rapidly and but for a sudden change in the direction of the wind, the most valuable business property in our capitol city would DOW be in ashes. Tie rcar of all the buildings from Main to Cumberland streets were more or less damaged. Nearly 5000 bales of cotton vera destroyed, and, together with the buildings and other property, the loss amounts to more than S3oo, 900. The fire was caused by the dropping of a cigarette.

TIE recent elections tend to Shcw the certainty of Ciaveiand's renomins- ton. His participation in the canvass in New York to the extent of advising support of the Democratic party. and especially the nomination of Col. Eel Iowa, encouraged the Democracy to the unity and energy of effort, that has been crowned by splendid victory. The Pittsbury Post ssys: "Unquestion- ably the result in New York drives of the fogs of do1bt and mistrust, and slmplifies matters for next year, both as regards thu nomination and elec- tion." New York alone cannot elect, and under the impression that New
 York is safe, the party in other states will fall back into tlie ruts of indiHer- ence- The Republican party is great power, and because out of office. is no! dead, and is straining every muscle and spending every dollar to adv auct it's interest. With all the new parties in Arkansas it behOoves the party te oreaui1e and work, or the bOasted ma jority will be small, if any. Let us work, as though the election of ths Democracy depended on Arkansas alone

FORREST FIRES.

The following, from the Arkansas Democrat, exactly describes the situa- ton here:
 "Advices from Jacksonport say that the whole country for miles around is filled with smoke from forest fires. The smoke is so bad at this place that day and night seem almost the same, and has been this way for several days past.
 The damage from these fires is very great, many of the farmers being left without string of fence for the pro lection of their farms, and in some places the fire has invaded the corn fields. The cause of 30 much fire is attributable to the fact that no rain has fallen since the month of August, and everything is as dry as tinder and when fire once gets started It lS next to an impossibility to subdue it.
 The farmers are all worn out from fighting fire and loss of sleep, and the majority cannot speak above whisper from hoarseness caused by the smoke The condition of the farmers of North Arkansas is indeed critical.
 In other portions of this State and in Tennesse fires are also raging Much damage is being done

 LINN FARMER, a noted Louisiana farmer, discourses as follows in the Mississippi Valley Farmer about cot ton seed: "In regard to cottun seed sold of yearly by southern farmers, whose lands really need them returned to the soil, have heard it asserted by a few intelligent farmers that it is more economical to sell the cotton seed and buy peas, and by sowing them in the corn fields and blowing in the vines in the fall and winter. to thus restore the soil. To such an assertion ws have but one reply to make: We know that cotton seed is an excellent fertilizer, and we know that peas are excellent when used for the same purpose; and we also know that sugar in cur coffee is good, while we are equally willing to affirm that cream helps our cofiee- If. then, we admit both arc good, why in the name 0! common sense should we only use one and discard the otherY"

THE following extracts from

THE following extracts from an inter- vlew with Gov. Stanford, of California, by "Gath," of tue Cincinnati Enquirer, will be read with interest, coming, as they do, from one of the most intellec- tuai minds Of the country. To show how education and intelligence increas- es the productions of man, the Cover nor said: II reasoa that general iutcl- ligence and toleration caa improve mans condition so immensely that we can cure every thing in the work; but improvidence. That fear nothing can cure. In India man labors for about aye ceuss day, aud therefore they say the street cars ia Calcutta costing a fve-cSut fare, would take a day's wages Tn Davaris, where the people work as hard as tlisy do anywhere, but use no machinery, the proportion of women in the fields, as csunted them, is as three women to two men, and still they do not raise enough grain D ex- port. Dat here, hy asiay the facilities nature suggests, we feed or what was
 formerly called the dessert more than 10 ,050 COG people On our wheat alone, and VIC have got the cost ot it down to something like cent and a half q forget whether the Governor said q cent and a half poaal or a dollar and half tonl- Now what Is to make the multitude poo. when the earth yields like that. and believe this earth will yield everywhere ia rropor- tion to the intelligence applied to it. believe that the earth for all the uses of man is inexhaustible- That is why have got my mind directed to edaca. ton as the supreme factor for cur peo- ole. and am not cutting out here a
 university to raise young exquisites
 only selected sons of families I want education to be cheap and thoroug gh
 too" As to theology the Governor re marked: "The peoples theology is of ten borrowed from their political and social condition. In my youth they taught that tortures were inflicted in the next world. Now you hardly ever hear that doctrine preached, because
 men are more interested in this earth and l think whatever makes this world happier enlzrges the moral strength Oi
 men. I believe in the immortality oi
 the soul, and that as we live here ouI progress will be; that if we consider
 our neighbor and tho law of kindness
 we shall be fit to be further advanced
 toward the enjoyment of another state that the two states, that of this earth
 and the future, belong to each other. As to the labor agitations of the present
 day, he said: 'sI am opposed to them When labor shows 2 certain discOntent il
 is then just beginning to he ambition!
 and to want to find out some happier methods and results. Our AmericaI
 people will not y ield to the teachings O
 discontented and desperate men, whs have come among them from places o1 tyranny. where the general happiness i: made subordinate to the happiness of , few. The more they will inquire int. the rights of labor, the more they vii find it's honest limitations and also it
 true relAtions to happiness"
